I would like to know if the campsites have electricity available? We plan on using a tent and not a RV. I am assuming it would be in the add on premium site

Krista, the park staff will be able to tell you how full they have been in the past years, and you can check on that by calling 918-435-8066 or 918-589-2651. As for the fireworks, there are two displays that we know of. If you'll click on 'Festivals & Events within 10 miles' under the map feature on this page, it will pull up Grand Lake Fireworks and Duck Creek Fireworks. Click on those for more information. As to pets, dogs are allowed at all Oklahoma state parks, but they must be kept on a leash no longer than 10 feet at all times and cleaned up after. Have a great trip and thank you for using TravelOK.com!

Are you now able to reserve tent sites? We are wanting to have a family reunion type camping session in June and need to be able to get sites all together for us.

Great place! New showers! Campsites are large with plenty of room for kids to play. Lots of large shade trees. Gounds well kept. The camp host is super. We have found a little paradise!

From Mickie Blum on 02/03/12

New showers put in. Very clean. Great park hosts. Loved the beauty of the park and the people we met. Park was kept clean and grass mowed regulary. Will return whenever we are in Oklahoma.

From Norma. Venable on 10/03/11

No showers!!. The porta potties had not been emptied,very bad. The only flush toilet is at one end of the park, not convenient. Very disappointed on Oklahoma. Arkansas puts you to shame.

From Bobby on 07/16/11

A wonderful place that even the locals use on a regular basis for swimming, fishing, and camping. Lots of shade around most campsites. Plenty of 30 amp hook ups but only one 50 amp hook up. Creek has a gravel bottom so bring old tennis shoes to swim with. Family and kids had a good time.

From Bobby on 07/16/11

There is one permanent restroom that is still open and several port-a-johns. The newer restroom/shower facility seems to have been damaged by a flood.

From Angela on 07/16/11

How are the restroom/shower facilities?

From Larry Wright on 02/12/11

I would like to reserve the 2nd Saturday in June for the Wright Family please. Contact me by e-mail Larry Wright
